Since musicians are known to set down their ideas in the form of
sheet music, these curious black dots and lines must constitute the
“language of music.” It is imperative that students become fluent in
this language if they are to attain any degree of musical competence;
indeed, it would be ludicrous to expect a child to sing a song or
play an instrument without having a thorough grounding in music
notation and theory. Playing and listening to music, let alone
composing an original piece, are considered very advanced topics and
are generally put off until college, and more often graduate school.
